“Anniversary weekend.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Just returned from a weekend break at the Cairndale. Got a good deal for 2 nights dinner bed and breakfast. This is an older hotel but its spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Stayed in room 4. A large room with a double and single bed. Large bathroom with huge bath . Room was very comfortable. Ate in Sawney Beans on both nights. Food was lovely , only complaint was, The menu was not very extensive. Could have done with another few options. Breakfast was buffet style with lots of choice. The leisure facilities were good. Used the sauna jacuzzi and pool on saturday afternoon. There is also a very well equipped gym. The staff were all polite and unobtrusive. I would stay here again.

Glad to hear how much you enjoyed your Anniversary weekend in the hotel. Your comments about the menu in Sawney Beans have been noted and our menu will be changing in the next few days. Our Chef is also working on a new Menu for Reivers Restaurant which will be shortly be opening at weekends until the main holiday season.

“Xmas Treat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We visited this hotel in early January as a Christmas treat to each other and we had a great weekend. We found the staff all polilte and helpful in the hotel and restaurant. We found our room clean and tidy as well as we use the facilities which were also clean and tidy. We did not attend the entertainment on the Saturday night but did get review that it was a great night. We will return again to the hotel for an entertainment weekend and will be recommending to all family and friends.

Room Tip: We had room on lower level and found it to be quite quiet.

“Really good experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We decided to book this hotel for New Years Eve. 2 adults and 2 children age 10. After we'd been in our room about 5 minutes we received a phone call to check that we were happy with the room and if we has aged to find everything (one of the childrens beds was a soda bed and we had been wondering where the bedding was so this was very helpful). We had booked in for the function on the evening which was fantastic - the food was fabulous and the entertainment was really good - also the drinks were reasonably priced which was a pleasant surprise as you tend to find you get charged excessively in places like this! The beds were really comfortable and there was plenty of choice for breakfast. We made use of the leisure facilities before we left - gym,pool,sauna,steam room and jacuzzi. Couldn't fault this hotel. Would recommend it and will stay again

Thank you for the excellent feedback following your visit at New Year.
I was also able to attend the Hogmanay Ceilidh in the hotel with my family and it really was a fantastic night like you say.
The fact that the hotel is already well booked up for Hogmanay 2012 a year in advance speaks volumes about the popularity of our Hogmanay Ceilidh.

Delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your visit to the hotel over Christmas. We're already taking bookings for 2012 and have just confirmed most of the entertainment which will include the return of Swede Dreamz (Abba Tribute Band) on Boxing Day.

“Christmas at the Cairndale”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We spent 4 nights here over Christmas and had a great time.The place is a little old fashioned but very clean and well run.The food from breakfast to dinner was very good with plenty of choice and very well presented.The management are very professional and run things very well.Our room (6)was spacious and warm and the bathroom well equipped with a very big bath.The entertainment put on at night was very good and on our final night there was an Abba tribute band on which was very good.We have just one very small complaint that there is no clock in the bedroom which is fine for us but our elderly mother-in-law found it difficult.

Room Tip: ask for a room near to reception because some rooms are a long walk away.
